Does anyone know the differences between a deep water kit for a m38 and M38a1? I found a NOS M38 kit but I have a M38A1. I can't find the parts in the ORD-9 to compare. and I can't find a copy of TM-9-2853.

From picks online the parts generally appear similar with only a minor difference in how the air intake pipe bracket is bent/shaped.

Part numbers are

WO-808456 (M38A1)

Wo-808454 (M38)

The newer TM 9-238 replaced TM 9-2853. It is a very generalized manual and is not vehicle specific. You'll want the TB or MWO for the fording kit on an M38A1 or a copy of the lit instructions that comes with the kit.

Here's a direct comparison of parts lists for the M38 and the M38A1:
